Explanation

BACKGROUND: Purchase order ED036600 authorized the Board of Health to enter into a contract with Access 2 Interpreters in the amount of $11,340, for the provision of interpretation and written translation services for the period April 1, 2008 through September 30, 2008. This ordinance is needed to increase contract ED036600 with Access 2 Interpreters in the amount of $9,800 for a total contract amount not to exceed $21,140. This modification is needed to meet demand for translation/interpretation services which has been higher than anticipated. Access 2 Interpreters Federal ID number is 760803722. The contract compliance expires July 28, 2010.

Emergency action is requested in order to avoid a delay in providing client services.

FISCAL IMPACT: The Women, Infants and Children Program is entirely funded by the Ohio Department of Health. This program does not generate any revenue or require a City match.
